Most folks who started out northbound on I-25 or westbound on I-90, hours before, weren’t expecting to find this hovering over the combined road along their journey into southern Montana! Indeed, both before and after I darted up an embankment to shoot this safely from the median, a few people pulled off the exit ramp and asked me if they should drive onward, to which I responded, “Not for another 20 minutes or so, until this is past the road!” The wondrous, stunning supercell dumped copious amounts of severe hail from that small, rear-flank core, seen behind and to the left of the rotating but non-tornadic wall cloud.
